Summary
“None of us know why The End has made an exception. But one of us is getting out of here. One of them. One of them gets a chance to be found.” He turns around before stepping backstage. When he returns, five people Terminus has claimed are behind him looking half-alive, disoriented, disillusioned and dishevelled. They look like they’ve each just awoken from a deep sleep, but with exhaustion tenfold, ranging from picking dirt out of their hair to already on their knees crying to laughing because there was nothing else they could do.
...
The Unknowing has been successfully stopped. Nobody survives. But that's a foil to everyone's plans, so the Web sends the Eye to send everyone's favorite avatar of The End to set up a little game.
Even after death, they can't leave the Archives.

Summary
It's not serendipity that kept Tim Stoker alive through the Unknowing. Things aren't as simple as that, not anymore, not for things like Jon and not for things like Tim.
Because that's what they are now. Things. They'll come to terms with it eventually, but "eventually" is a very long way away.

Summary
Grief is a funny thing. Yes, THAT kind of funny. Tim has always rationalized it as a fugue state, a fever dream, a waking nightmare that you can learn to control if you can find the right words, the right joke. It's like casting a spell, really. Mundane magic. Laughter is the only way to snatch lucidity back from the monsters that haunt you, both real and unreal. It's the only thing that keeps them from devouring you.
But as he watches the wax museum burn, as he cradles the corpse of the man he hated beyond all reason in his arms, as he comes to terms with the fact that he's alive and Daisy is dead, Danny is dead, Sasha is dead, Jon is...he just can't find the punchline.
or; the archivist and co. navigate grief, love, and the eventual eyepocalypse in search of a better future

Summary
Jon takes his phone, abandoned on the bedside table since he left for their mission, and chooses the first number on his speed dial. Martin's name pops up on the screen; Jon stares at it, somewhat helplessly. He doesn't know how to put everything that happened into words yet, but Martin must be worried sick wondering what is happening to them. And Jon really wants to hear his voice.
After barely one tone, Martin picks up.
"Hello?" he says, small and worried. As if he isn't sure if he should be expecting to hear Jon, or the police, or the paramedics.
Still, Jon can't really imagine a sound that might soothe and ground him more now.
"...It's me," he whispers.
From the Unknowing to the death of Martin's mother - except this time, Jon is there.

Summary
“I know, it’s pathetic. Hell, I’m thirty and I haven’t even--” He wasn’t going to volunteer any information like that, but now that he thought about it, he couldn’t help but think about just how pissed off Peter would be if Martin went and threw away his v-card before allowing himself to succumb to the Lonely. It would be incredibly satisfying to be able to hold that over old man winter’s head.

There is a door in front of him. A yellow door. He knows the dream it used to lead to; he knows it well. But that’s not where it leads anymore. He does not know what is behind it anymore, and he is deathly afraid of finding out.

Summary
Jon can't sleep, so he does what he always does: work. Listen. There's a pile of tapes and paper statements waiting for him when he returns, and the first one is Martin's conversation with Elias.
Comments my beta reader left on this fic, as endorsements (because I am bad at fic summaries):
- "OH. WAIT. HOLY SHIT. HOLY FUCK. OH MY GOD."
- "I SEE WHERE YOURE GOING WITH THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
- "okay I cannot. convey in words the facial expressions I’m making about this shit. Oh My God."
- "VIBRATING. FUCKING. EYES. EMOJI."
- "Bestie we all know your gay ass is NOT gonna do that"
and more! -

Summary
When Jon is killed, ending his role as ruler of his apocalyptic terror-filled world, he wakes up several years in the past. At first, he sees it as a chance to make things better. To fix them. To undo all his poor decisions and foolish, half-informed choices. To make amends, even at the cost of his own life.
Except that he can’t. If there’s one thing Jon has learned from destroying the world and ruling over it, it’s that he has never had the power to improve anyone’s life. There’s really no point in trying. Besides, in a world where dying just means waking up some random evening in 2015, why not selfishly spend some time making things better for yourself? Ignore the existential futility and grab what happiness is possible. Or spend a few lives getting petty revenge. When nothing matters, what else is there to do but whatever you want?
If only Jon were capable of being that simple.
